Problem - emu looting help please

I am playing on an emu server and they do not have the advloot which for a while was no problem, but after taking a break i came back and updated my redguides and now when my bard running kissassist tries to loot he opens the loot window but instead of picking up items i get a message in my mq window that says "SLOT IS NULL: Could not send notification to 60 Rightmouseup" the number changes (assuming its based on mob but i dont know). Any help to get this working so i dont have to keep manually looting would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
 
Howdy Forgotmyinfo,

Unfortunately, this is an outstanding issue

you might need/want to check the > EMU History < and go back a few builds and grab one before the struct got borked up
 
its understandable, the fact we even have an emu version imo is just a bonus. after i download the older one am i just pasting it where the old emu folder is? do i need to save anything from my old folder first?

nah should be fine to just extract or paste over old stuff and when asked if you want to replace, can hit yes
 
ok i did that and everything is working fine but my cleric (who is using the mq2cleric plugin) is now casting hand of virtue on himself repeatedly even though he already has it.

scratch that, fixed it.

Glad you guys figured this out... I'm new to EQEmu and having the same issues.

Forgotmyinfo, can you enlighten me on which build you used?

Also, where would I find past builds? There doesn't seem to be any in the linked sources above.

Am I missing something that should be obvious?

I don't see an easy way to access old builds of anything here.
 
If u don't get it working send me a dm on discord @Tana Doublelock#7374 I'll send u the file that needs fixed spent 11 hours working on that yesterday
 
Well damn, it was obvious. This forum is a bit maze-like sometimes. ;)

Sub-Menu's in Menu's and the like. It was just a few tabs over in the link you posted previously. Thanks again.

You all have some saintly patience around here.

Saint Sic!
 

The April build should be what you are looking for
That seems to have resolved the issue with not looting at all... But now it sometimes reporting:

"NULL is stuck on my cursor. Dropping it into inventory in 15s.
NINJAADVLOOT: I can't loot NULL ID:NULL right now.

It doesn't seem to break looting in general anymore though.

the april one should specifically fix that particular problem. are you sure you're using that?

my mistake, i thought we were talking about the notification to ### pack nonsense because this is the thread about that particular issue.

Just overwrote everything in the EMU folder with the APRIL 2021 EMU build from the link you provided.

It no longer freezes when trying to loot, complaining about mousedown. But it does complain about NULL loot.

edit:
Having said that, watching it try to loot QUEST items, and ignore them... Only to try and loot them over and over again, now.

Perhaps I need to totally replace the contents of the EMU folder with the APRIL build then? And just transfer the .ini files?

Is there another way I should have gone about that?

I am just trying to get things working before I dive in and try to change anything.

I don't mean to waste your time. And will understand if you'd rather not hold my hand through something that should be obvious.

the build i mentioned should be the one that is before eqmule broke the item notification code - he said he was going to look into it and fix it but hasn't, i'm sorry about that.

you will want to ensure you are running that build if you are trying to resolve that issue, which is why i pointed you to that build.

if you are still getting the "can't send to ###" error, then you're not running the correct version.

Alright, well. I deleted the old EMU/Release folder completely and replaced it with the April build (rather than just overwrite the core files) then re-built the ini files...

It appeared to be working fine without trying to loot NULL items. But then, after about a half dozen kills, I noticed the first NULL stuck on cursor message... Then another. Now, it's doing it like I didn't change a thing.

It's also acting strange, adding mobs to a no pull list for no apparent reason. The character will run up to a mob, try to attack it (with no reason it shouldn't be able too) and then add it to a no kill list, and move on.

I've been using this software casually on LIVE and TEST for about over a year, with large breaks, and this is the first time I've seen any of these issues. Though I recognize that EMU builds are second class around here, and it's not easy finding solutions... So, I try not to be pushy.

I appreciate you taking the time to humor me. But the APRIL build is not working the way you think it should, and I didn't want to make that claim until I made sure I asked for clarification, then acted accordingly.

I appreciate your help. It's more than anyone else in this topic has done. I know you're just doing what you can.

I hope I didn't irritate you... too much.
 
well, we were talking about the "can't send to ###" which is what i was referring to, because that is what this thread was originally about. so my mistake there

I don't know about an issue with the cursor or if/when that issue came to be

hopefully we will see the emu version of MacroQuest "next" soon, and then we will be living the good life

sorry you feel second class, I think that is fair that you feel that way, and hopefully that can change here in the future

and nah you're not irritating me
 
Sic has a lot of patience, especially when over time you see all he has to deal with lol.

EMU and MQ are more fun that worrying about a suspension :)
